How to Keep Your Pigging Systems Up to Date: AccuTect Pig Detectors
Equipment maintenance is an important element of manufacturing productivity. Ensuring that equipment hardware and software is running smoothly is important to keeping on top of production requirements.
Rather than thinking of equipment maintenance as a routine task, it should be thought of as a crucial element of ensuring productivity stays on track.
When it comes to liquid product recovery (pigging) systems, keeping them up to date is key to ensuring high recovery rates and efficient changeovers. In this article, we’ll look at why upgrading your pig detection system is a smart move for manufacturers.
Planning a Pigging System – Getting Started
Industrial process pigging is probably the most popular and effective method of recovering useable residual product from pipelines.
Its versatility spans across a spectrum of production processes, ranging from alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, paints, varnishes, confectionery, pet food, high-end cosmetics, and household cleaning fluids.
Successfully implemented pigging systems come with a wide range of benefits, including a high return on investment (ROI).
But like many projects, getting started can often be one of the most difficult hurdles.
Unlocking Sustainability: How Pigging Technology Propels Companies Towards EU Reporting Compliance
With sustainability becoming increasingly important worldwide, the European Union has introduced the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The new legislation aims to make businesses more transparent and accountable by requiring them to disclose more information about their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.
For European manufacturers, this means they’ll have to report on their environmental impact and show their social responsibility.
In this article, we’ll explore how these new reporting standards will affect European manufacturers and how implementing pigging technology can make dealing with these a lot easier for you.
Common Questions We Get Asked About Pigging Systems for Chocolate and Confectionery
Chocolate, loved by many around the world, comes in a variety of types, shapes, and flavours. From traditional chocolate bars, coins, eggs, and heart-shaped treats to milk chocolate, dark chocolate, salted caramel, and ruby chocolate, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
But behind the scenes of this sweet indulgence lies a complex and dynamic industry.
As the industry evolves, manufacturers face many challenges, including fluctuating input costs, increased competition, and changing customer preferences.
Industry Focus: Chemicals
Liquid chemical manufacturing spans diverse sectors like specialty chemicals and agrochemicals. Ensuring efficient and safe handling of liquid chemicals throughout production is paramount for quality and waste reduction.
Pigging technology is ideal for manufacturers looking to implement liquid product recovery technology into their operations. Using specially designed ‘pigs’, manufacturers can recover residual product from pipelines, enhancing yield and minimising waste.
Pigging technology delivers further benefits for chemical manufacturers. As well as recovering products, pigging optimises resource and ingredient consumption and minimises environmental impact. It also reduces cross-contamination between batches, ensuring product integrity and regulatory compliance.
In liquid chemical manufacturing, pigging technology optimises product recovery, minimises waste, and maintains operational excellence. As the industry advances, integrating advanced pigging systems will be vital for enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness in liquid chemical manufacturing facilities.
